Chapter 849: The Enma of the Santu River
The Santu River, also known as the Santu River, is the far east, and is said to be the dividing line between the world of life and the world of death. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Similar legends have different names in different regions, in the west of the Far East, that is, on the Shenzhou Continent, is the Huangquan Underground Mansion, which is known for its strict rules, collects the souls of the dead, and the ten halls of Yama King jointly judge the place where the cycle of life flows. Far away on the continent of Europa, the river Styx in the underworld is filled with countless ferocious water ghosts who will shed their skin even if the gods fall into it. In the adjacent area of the Shenzhou Continent, there is a god with a wolf's head and a human body who holds the scales and feathers, and has the power to measure the good and evil of the deceased during his lifetime, and to carry out reincarnation and punishment.
The Santu River in the far east is because the water in the river is divided into three different currents: slow, normal, and rapid, depending on the behavior of the deceased during his lifetime. Because of the abnormal flow speed of the river, it has gradually been called the "Santu River" in human legends. However, compared to the speed of the river, the most special thing about the Santuchuan River is that after the death of a life, when the soul is guided to the side of the Santuchuan River, it will receive a amount of money based on its life experience. This money depends on the proportion of good and evil that life does in the world. If the good deeds are less than the evil deeds, the soul will not receive any money.
The Santu River itself is also a river with special properties, the water is highly poisonous and corrodes the soul, and it does not have any buoyancy. As soon as the soul falls into the water, it will be eroded by the river and sink rapidly. Not only will he never be able to set foot on land again, but he will also transform into a water ghost with an almost infinite lifespan in the Santu River, and he can only hate other souls.
The only way for those who do not have enough strength to cross the river is to wait for the ferry boat operated by the god of death on the Santu River, and use the money obtained from the reincarnation of the Santu River as the cost of the ferry. The more money you have, the faster you can cross the river, and if you don't have money, you will be thrown into the river by death when you cross the river to the middle of the river, and become one of the water ghosts.
The soul that crosses the Santu River begins to walk on the path to reincarnation, and the Yama is located in the Hall of Right and Wrong, where the soul is judged by the Yama, who holds the Pure Glass Mirror, a divine tool. Because the Mirror of Pure Glass is capable of reproducing everything in the past of the person being tried without reservation, the judgment based on the content of human beliefs will not result in an unfair verdict caused by a lack of information.
Virtuous deeds are reborn with a corresponding reward in terms of origin, while evil deeds may be reborn as livestock, and after being slaughtered several times to cleanse their souls, they will be reborn at the human level. If a life is a person who has made a decisive act on the times and the development of mankind, its reincarnation route will even change directly from a soul state to a god serving in the Santugawa River.
In addition to judging and reincarnating the dead life, the work of the Enma's is to monitor changes in the world and grasp the number and status of souls in the area under their control. And on this day, the trial of hundreds of souls had just been completed, and he breathed a sigh of relief and began to deal with the situation of the souls in the Yang world according to the regulations.
After all, it is in the period of the gods and demons dancing wildly, and the soul may inevitably be done something that does not conform to the rules of reincarnation. For example, the act of a youkai devouring a soul, although it is a reasonable event in the content of human fear, but in the eyes of the Enma, who manages the soul, it is a provocative act that seriously hits the face of Santugawa. It's just that the existence of managing reincarnation usually rarely interferes with the behavior of the present world, so the vast majority of human beings who are born from the spirit of the life form operate the soul, and the Enma can only silently record their behavior, and wait until the person concerned dies before liquidating. However, if it is a being born out of a system of non-human beliefs and fears that interferes with the operation of the principle of reincarnation, Enma has a good reason to send people to the present world to investigate.
Shikieihime, the reincarnation supervisor of the Far East, has absolute authority and power in the Santu River. Although the process of reincarnation constructed by the principle of reincarnation does not require too much manpower, all the staff of Santuchuan River together may not be as large as a large human village. But there is no doubt that as long as Shikihime himself stays in the Santu River, the Shikiki Yinghime, who can call on the Santuchuan River to meet the enemy, is almost an invincible existence among the gods. The Grim Reaper under him also has the strange ability to extract souls, and the hand-to-hand combat spells are at the level of the gods. In addition, no gods and monsters dare to say that they will never die, so until now, Santuchuan is still a forbidden place where few lives dare to mess around.
However, Shikihime discovered an anomaly in the present world by accident, and her soul was not devoured and turned into the power of gods and monsters, but was completely destroyed. The total amount of souls is the same, and it is a taboo that cannot be broken in samsara. Aware of the fact that the soul was destroyed, the body of the almost twelve-year-old girl of Shiki Yingji trembled slightly because of anger, and the feeling of being offended by others appeared in the heart of the girl Enma for the first time. In a moment, Shiki-eihime, who calmed down her mood again, took out the Pure Glass Mirror from the table in front of her. The smooth mirror surface fluctuates like the surface of the water, and gradually emerges from the Shinigami at work on the Santu River.
"Hmmm... The new ferry still seems to be very popular with the souls, and it seems that using Hell's money reserves to replace the equipment at that time still helps the ferryman and the ferryman. ”
Pleased that the river crossing tool operated by the Santu Kawakami Grim Reaper was finally no longer a simple raft, but a small boat about six meters long, Shikihime immediately turned his attention back to business and began to call the names of his subordinates.
"Komachi! Onozuka Komachi! Don't be lazy behind the rocks, I have an urgent matter for you to solve right now! ”
While dozens of Grim Reapers were hard at work, a girl with a cute bright red wavy double ponytail and a proud figure large enough to crush almost all the women in the world hid behind a rock large enough to completely cover her body. Although the Grim Reaper can control the time consumed each time he crosses the Mitsuka River through different abilities, Onozuka Komachi's ability is particularly foul in it.
The ability to control the distance is one of the necessary learning principles of the series of spells of the end of the world and the shrinking of the earth, and through the control of the distance, the time to cross the river is saved, and Komachi is much more efficient than the other gods of death. If it weren't for the current rules, where only one soul could board the boat at a time to cross the river, Komachi estimated that he would be able to easily complete all of the current Reaper's workload.
After completing his own part of the job, he was about to sleep beautifully, and after waiting for a certain amount of soul to accumulate and continue to work, Komachi's ears suddenly exploded with a stern question. Komachi, who was already familiar with this, had already subconsciously bounced off the ground and nodded in apology before his brain turned conscious.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Shiki, I didn't mean to...
"Really, every time it's like this, can you grow a little, Komachi...
Relying on the authority of the Santu River, the four seasons who came directly to Komachi's side held her forehead helplessly, and her right hand took out a wooden confession stick of unknown origin out of nowhere, and hit Komachi's forehead hard. . .
"Stop, stop, Lord Shiki, I'm going to be killed...
Regardless of Komachi's appearance that he was about to cry, Shikihime, who has seen similar reactions many times, will not be easily merciful because of Komachi's plea for mercy.
"Don't worry, even if I accidentally beat you to death, I'll give you a death transformation process, and you still have to work under me!!"
"Smack!!
The heavy blow made Onozuka Komachi only feel that everything in front of him was spinning and twisting, and then he fell backwards to the ground, and the impact with the ground set off a large cloud of dirt... (To be continued.) )
